Experiments


In this experiment it involved having seperate sheets of paper for the water colour background and detail and another sheet for the inky detail which I then combined on the computer changing the line colour to make certain areas of the page stand out. The risks I took was using water colour and  possibly using it in my final piece as water colour is not my strongest skill but works the best in this type of experiment. The limitations to this is getting the two separate sheets of paper to line up perfectly and getting the inky lines to flow and run smoothly especially in the circles. 












This is planning out the areas that will be certain colours to see if they will work together and still looks balanced.
This experiment is a screenprint of a possible book cover design, focusing on three main colours to be printed. This piece is influenced by Oliver Jeffers work as I have taken his idea of drawing very simple basic character but changing them to fit into the type of story I have created. From looking at his work I have learnt a valuable technique of how to draw people which I could never before.


This experiment is a monoprint of a scene from my childrens book, which I then put into photoshop and added colour over the top.
